How to Simplify Your Life

It's a
Monday night, my room looks like I have mistaken my clothes for confetti and my
desk cannot be seen due to the piles of books and papers scattered everywhere.
But that's not the only thing that is currently a mess - my wardrobe, school
bag and computer files are a complete pigsty. I find it really difficult to do
any homework, let alone think in this sort of untidiness so I have decided to
declutter!

Step 1: Declutter your closet

Put some
music on and get sorting. Give away clothes which don't fit you anymore or that
you just don't wear. You may even find some outfits you completely forgot about
at the back of the wardrobe (this always happens to me!)

Step 2: Declutter your computer and phone

Give all
of those "doc 1's" a name, put files into clearly labelled folders
and delete anything you don't need any more to free up some space, such as old
emails or apps you never use.

Step 3: Declutter your workspace

This one
is one of the most important as a clear workspace = clear mind = more work
getting completed! Keep your work space simple, put objects that you don't need
as often in drawers or cupboards.

Step 4: Simplify your mind

Grab a
pen and write down everything that you need to remember to do, anything that's
bothering you and what needs to be done that day. Now spend some time focusing
on your breathing or meditating. Acknowledge any negative thoughts or worries
that come into your mind, and with each breath, allow them to come out.

Feeling
better? I guess because this allows you to enjoy the little things in life
instead of getting caught up in materialistic possessions. Today I suggest you
try even one of the steps above and see what happens...Much love,x G

I agree with your tips! After I came home from Australia, the first thing I did was cleaning up my wardrobe and also the rest of my room. It now feels really empty, but I just love the feeling of a clean room. *-* It's great, because I'm going back to school tomorrow and now I can really focus on my school work. Vivi
